FAQ

who put the tea set and bed in skaianet labs? was it rose's mom?

Yes, Rose’s mom put them there.

which alpha trolls made it to god tier in their session

Meenah and Aranea have confirmed their ascension. Mituna said he could not remember and Damara would not answer the question. The other alpha trolls said no.

So Bec Noir is essentially a cancer on two universes, right? I can't remember if the kids' and trolls' sessions count as different universes.

Noir is the ‘cancer’ that Karkat says he gave to the human’s universe. The sessions take place in the Medium which is separate from their universes. So yes, the kid’s and troll’s have different universes but only the human’s universe is cancerous. 

is it "wiggler" or "wriggler"?

Wiggler

is lil' cal the first guardian of calliope and caliborn's session?

Sessions don’t have First Guardians, planets do. 

Was the situation in which Terezi was able to be close enough to figure out Karkat's blood color (their "moment") ever actually explained?

Their MOM3NT was never explained.

When a sprite dies, do they end up in dreambubbles if they are available?

If the sprite was prototyped with a Sburb/Sgrub player then the player’s ghost will be in the bubbles, but not the sprite itself. This is seen with Tavris and Fefeta

What did the Horrorterrors whisper to Dave? Is it relevant?

They were asking him for help. They were being killed by Lord English so it’s sorta relevant.

On the post about Jade being awake early, you also had a list of others who had awoken early. On this list was Dave, and I don't remember ever seeing him awake before sburb began. Where was this?

His dreamself was awake but didn’t realize it.

Who is the "tyrant less an arm and an eye"? I've never heard of them but apparently Aradia mentioned them at some point

That would be Bec Noir.  He’s a tyrant with only one arm and one eye since. (Technically he has two eyes but one of them is cut so yeah)

random felt fact?

The Felt are leprechauns and they display their romantic intentions by dancing and singing riddles which means that Clover wanted to be in a relationship with Caliborn. 

After the game is beaten what will happen to all the sprites that are alive?

The details of the endgame situation in the game haven’t been discussed in-comic but my guess that the sprites may not be able to leave the Medium and enter the new universe with the players since they’re game constructs. I don’t want to say for sure though. 

where did the Mayor's firefly go?

Serenity was last seen here with Roxy.

Was the wallet/8 ball modus combination done through the alchemiter or through the thing john uses to combine his

It was most likely done with the alchemiter.

when aradia was killed why did her ghost remain on alternia instead of going to the dream bubbles (which i think already existed because the alpha trolls reside in them)? is it because the game hasn't begun yet?

Yes, it was because the game hadn’t begun yet.

Has it explicitly been said why rose won't follow her quest?

After learning that their session was null, Rose no longer wanted to play by the rules or play to win. In this new session Rose may be motivated to complete her quest since it looks like she will need the grist hoards of her planet to help Skaia give the Genesis Frog nutrients.

If the game affects the players and the area around them, does that mean that the people(if there were any) living around John are dead? Or is it as if the Kids are the only humans left on Earth?

They were probably killed by the massive meteor that John escaped by entering the Medium. When the kids use their cruxite artifacts they’re transferred into the Medium, which is a separate dimension.

Question- were the kids that were sucked into the house juju from a different timeline than the gameovers and the kids we have now? and their being in there is what enabled john to get his retconning powers? if so, then how did the timeline where they fought caliborn and create lord english happen?

They most likely are the kids we are seeing now, only in the future.

Has it ever been said what apartment floor Dave lived on?

He lives on the top floor which we first see in [S] Dave: Retrieve Dead Bird .  We also know this because the top floor of the building is the only one that’s on his planet.

are there anymore FHSF lore/facts/whatever that you can share? kinda interested now lol

Check the forgottenhsfacts tag. 

I'm so confused about Vriska yelling about not touching the sprites, because in the beginning of Homestuck, John highfived his sprite, before it was prototyped twice. By Vriska's logic, he should've gotten prototyped with it. ??? (I wouldn't put it past vriska to be wrong though lmao)

Sprites who’ve only been prototyped once have been touched before without being prototyped again so she’s most likely wrong. 

What did rose see in the cueball(or what its called, the thing where you can see answers and what Doc Scratch was prototyped from) that made her grimdark? And didnt Vriskas ancestor have it first?

There are multiple cue balls that have been dispersed by Doc Scratch. She asked the cue ball whether the Horrorterrors were benevolent and this caused her to go grimdark. What she saw wasn’t shown but the answer was obvious: they’re not.

is mituna having those red and blue veins on his forehead canon?

No, his face is never shown.

In part of the recent updates Vriska mentioned Gamzee has "plot armor" and that she will probably throw the fridge into the ocean on earth when all is said and done. Being that Lil' Cal is also in the ocean and both he and Gamzee are on Caliborn's earth, could this be how Gamzee got there? just chillin' in a fridge until earth dries up and a cherub lays an egg there?

Yes, that’s most likely how he got on post-scratch Earth unless he finds a way to get out of the fridge. 

Considering when Dream Selves and Prospit and Derse were explained, the least I could say would be I was a little confused. If you wouldn't mind explaining them in more simpler terms compared to Homestuck's explanation, it would be greatly appreciated! c:

A dream self is an extra body for the player that remains asleep until they’re woken up. Everyone’s dreamself can be awoken differently. They can change their appearance but lose this ability if the main body dies. If the player wants to ascend on their Quest Bed then the dream self must be alive. When the player dies on the bed, their dreamself will ascend to godtier. If the player uses their Sacrificial Slab, which is located in the center of the moons of Derse and Prospit, then they don’t need an extra body. 

is Jake and Dirk dating?? Im confused about it

No they’re not dating currently. Dirk broke up with Jake during the Trickster part (epilepsy warning for that page) although later on he said he regretted how forceful he was with Jake’s courtship and that him and Jane should’ve talked earlier about their mutual interest in him. 

You once said that players only have 24 hours to beat the game, but wasn't it mentioned in comic that it took the trolls several months before they won?

Players have 24 hours to beat the Black King once he starts the Reckoning.

As far as I’m aware, the average amount of time before he starts the Reckoning is usually a few weeks like Karkat’s group had, although it might differ by session.

The Beta kids’ Reckoning started super early (Less than a day in) due to interference by Bec Noir.

what happened to vriska after terezi back-stabbed her in god tier?

She died, came back as a sprite, exploded, became a pirate, found some treasure, her crew left her, her pre-scratch ancestral counterpart turned out to be a dick, she realized that she was also a dick, then learned about the power of friendship and made out with a fish-lady.

Which are all the vast (sounds) and the (color)(measures)?

Well let’s see, there’s the

Vast Honk (Sound LE makes when he enters a universe)

Vast Glub (Sound Glubglub makes that kills all the trolls)

Vast Croak (Sound the Genesis Frog makes when he’s created)

And then there’s

Red Miles (Unavoidable attack causes by the Queens’ ring)

Yellow Yard (The Yard Stick Hussie places between the two 4th walls that John and Jade traveled between)

Black Inches (Snowman’s whip)

I think that’s all of them

Can Caliborn control minds?

No.

are the trolls and humans still playing sburb/Sgrub to present?

The humans are still playing Sburb and the trolls are helping them, yes.

i was under the impression that the trolls had 24 hours to beat the black king and spent those several weeks hiding in the veil AFTER they'd beaten him

That can’t be true because Karkat and Kanaya were frog breeding for weeks.  If they had left the Incipisphere after a day they couldn’t have done that.

wait are u doing asks yet or no

no

When the session is won, who would be able to take over the new universe? Would it be all the kids, just the beta kids (since its their frog), or just the alpha kids (since its their session)?

It should be all the kids. 

There’s no basis for this in canon but I like to believe that anyone that walks through the end game door has some ownership to the new universe.

Can we have a random forgotten fact about Mr. Horuss Zahhak?

He starts all his sentences with a happy horse face 8=D

Wait, when they win the session, what will happen to the trolls??

They’ll go with them

have we ever seen dirk and jake have an actual conversation in homestuck? which doesn't involve brain ghost dirk or AR?

They’ve had just 1 one-on-one’s seen in canon.  It was  just Dirk asking where Jake is and Jake ignoring him.  

When do we find out Dave's eyes are red? I don't remember that part

It pops up a few times, the first of which I believe being [S] Jade: Wake Up

does anyone ever call karkat "kitkat" in comic or is that purely a fandom thing

Fanon

Is Caledfwlch even a thing someone can pronounce?

(Kal-ed-vool-ch) Caledfwlch being the original Welsh name of Caliburn, aka Excalibur

Seeing as part of him is Dirk and Gamzee, can Lord English drop some sick rhymes?

Don’t forget that Equius was also a slam poet, 3/4th of Lord English are rappers, so there’s no doubt in my mind that the final fight of Homestuck will be a rap off between the Striders & Tavrosprite vs. LE

((How long does it usually take to respond to a message?))

It really depends, somewhere between 5 minutes and two years

about that ask pertaining if time players could reset timelines, could you explain that a little more? where does it say they can do that, and why is needlekind necessary?

In order to reset the timeline you need to initiate a Scratch.  If the player’s session had already been Scratched they can’t do it again.  In order for a Scratch to be initiated someone who has Needlekind must wield the Quills of Echidna  to scratch the session’s Scratch constructed located on the time player’s planet.

Have any of the megidos done anything you’d consider bad??

They’ve all kinda murdered some people, that’s kinda bad.

i just saw a post saying how the beta kids souls were sucked out and are stuck in a house or something (hence homestuck) but ive never heard anything about that??? did i forget or is that not actually a thing cuz i got no explanation from that post

It happens on this page during their fight with Caliborn. 

apologies if this has been answered before, but im forgetting my lore. Did terezi go blind due to an incident or was she simply created blind?

Terezi was blinded by Vriska, she wasn’t born that way.

Im REALLY confused about what happened when the trolls went on a murder spree and half of them died. Could you just explain that part?

Vriska killed Tavros because she didn’t like him and she was also being a bitch. Gamzee killed Nepeta and Equius after he became sober and looked into Lil Cal’s eyes. Eridan dueled with Sollux and knocked him out. Feferi thought Sollux was dead so she went to stab Eridan and he killed her with his White Wand. He then killed Kanaya but she came back as a Rainbow Drinker and sawed him in half.

where is the lily pad with the door to the new universe located in a session? Is it in the center of skaia or?

It’s beneath Skaia.

regarding the ask just answered a bit ago about the Scratch and needlekind--I thought Bro initiated the Scratch in the beta kids' session, but doesn't he use bladekind?

Bro tried to initiate the Scratch but he didn’t succeed. A player needs Echidna’s quills to cause the Scratch
